# 8th International Conference on Stem Cell Engineering 2021

> **NIH NIH R13** · AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS · 2021 · $5,000

## Abstract

Project Summary
Stem Cell Engineering aids in the development and acceleration of biomedical technologies. These
technologies enable scientists and engineers to create regenerative therapeutics and engineer
tissue. However, several challenges remain before many of these technologies can be utilized in
industry to create consumer products. For instance, there exist gaps in fundamental knowledge
regarding our understanding of processes such as morphogenesis. Additionally, as these are
complex and sophisticated systems, equally sophisticated computational tools and models are
required to analyze data. Thus, this field is inherently multidisciplinary, requiring the expertise of
scientists who specialize in fundamental science, mathematicians who specialize in modelling and
computational methods, and engineers which have experience with designing systems and
optimizing processes. In response to this need, we have designed the 8th International Conference
on Stem Cell Engineering 2021 taking place on July 8-10, 2021 in Boston, MA.
The technologies presented at the conference will allows for the assessment of the effectiveness
and outcomes of new biologics, processes, and procedures. The conference will integrate physical
and engineering science with life sciences to advance basic research and medical care. Any NIH
funding received will be used to increase the attendance of graduate students and early career
researchers from underrepresented groups in science and engineering.
